Hello again, family and friends. It is I, the youngest, here to tell you about my favorite day in Barcelona. We started off by going to the breakfast at our hotel here for the first time, and then we split up to go our separate ways. Mom and I were going around Barcelona because she wanted to see a few churches and shop a little, but Abby and dad went to some mountain or rather to see the views and climb rocks. I think me and mom had the most fun. First we visited the Sagrada Familia, then moved on to the Santa Maria del Mar church. This took about 3 hours, and after that we headed out to lunch.
Lunch was AWESOME. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. We went to a marketplace near our hotel, and it had all the strawberries, pastries, candies, and otherwise ingredients you could want. There was a place in the middle of it that had nothing but fish markets! There were candy shops, fresh juices, spices, fruits, veggies, butchers, bistros, bakeries, and anything you could think to make a meal out of. We started off by getting fruit, so I got a container of sliced strawberries, and mom got a mixed cup of fruit. We then went for a second round, where I got chocolate covered strawberries and mom got another mixed fruit cup. After that, we dove back in for a roll from a wonderful smelling bakery and a chicken pie from a small bistro. We also got some carrots, but we didn’t get around to eating them. Finally, we went to one of the candy shops to get a chocolate covered cherry and a small chocolate rose. A satisfying, healthy-ish meal.
After lunch, we went out to Park Güell where we lounged around a bit and listened to some very talented musicians play. We got tired, so we headed to meet up with Abby and dad. We stayed at the hotel for a while, then went out for dinner and Giovanni’s gelato.
Well, that ended our 2nd day in Barcelona. Can’t wait to see you all again,
Colleen
